shetef 's review for:

Consider Phlebas by Iain M. Banks
5.0
adventurous challenging dark tense slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I found the way that the characters in this book are constantly at the whims of something larger, impersonal, too vast to fully comprehend, engaging and relevant. Looking forward to reading more about The Culture.
